I really like the stock keyboard but I'm really missing the symbols on long-press. In the past, while using a Note 2, somebody released a .csc file that enabled the symbols.
Any ideas? I couldn't find it in the FAQ.

If you like the stock keyboard, you'll LOVE SwiftKey! And it features long-press access to numerous special characters.

SwiftKey was my to-go keyboard for a few years but I use more than one language. Unfortunately, the prediction for mmy other languages are terrible and you can't have separate settings for different languages - so I either completely disable prediction/autocorrect or suffer terrible typing experience.

Ah, that sucks. I have excellent predictions in English, and good predictions in French.

I've been following dexters froyo and recently took the leap and installed v1.3 of his ROM and am very very grateful TO him FoR helping us out with such great features and performance Of Android 2.2.1.
But my qualm is that THE default dictionary (in v 1.3) has some peculiar problems Of capitalizing some unwanted letters and wOrDs As you VSN (can) notice in this post.
This is proving TO BE a great nuisance FoR effectively utilizing my XT 720 productively.
MY PLEA:
Dear Dexter,
Please provide ys (us) with a clean and usable dictionary which would make this a great ROM.
Sincerely,
Your Fan.
You sure these words arent in your custom dictionary? There is no dictionary file at all with the included multitouch keyboard.

Yes. This is with a clean install Of Dexter's Froyo upgrading from stock 2.1 update 1 from Motorola.
And in THE language options in settings, I've tried both UK and YS (US) language options. Also removed all THE user defined wOrDs from within that menu.
Just try typing THE following wOrDs and let NE (me) know.

I get weird spelling suggestions too but it's the auto-correct that drives me up the wall. It seems to always want to put names in. Like "any" gets auto replaced with "Amy" etc. Really annoying but I don't know what to do about it.
Why not just use a 3rd party keyboard? I prefer SwiftKey.

There is a keyboard setting that says to use names from your contact list as auto correct suggestions, I don't remember if its in the multitouch keyboard or another Ive used though.
Using an alternate
Am using the Android 2.3 keyboard by Steven Lin available on the market. Looks good and is a pleasure to use
I've used like everything from the latest beta of swiftkey to swype to 8pen to gingerbread keyboard, but the multitouch keyboard has the best feeling and spacing to it imo - and I make the least mistakes with it. Wish dictionary would work.
So I've tried Android Keyboard as well as Samsung's and GO keyboard, but I like Android Keyboard the best. Is there a way to hit a single button (or a button and a choose from a pop-up, either way a "simple method") to use other languages with Android Keyboard? I've been googling this for days and everything I've found was people saying "yeah this works but it's meh." So if anyone knows a language input for Android Keyboard more like what I described above, let me know
I'm looking for Chinese and Japanese in particular.
You try sogou input method
I use slide it. You use the swipe method or touch. I use a dvorak layout for my keyboard which is basically another language. There is a dedicated button for switching back and forth between whichever languages you have installed.
Sogou was 100% in Japanese/Chinese so I have no idea how to use it and the pics didn't look like a keyboard plugin
Swipe is awful imo :/ I prefer to just type. If anyone knows any good swype keyboard that's actually really good, I'll try that too but I just want a Japanese and/or Chinese (Simplified) plugin for Android keyboard
is there any korean too?

Well, there are hands of Chinese/English keyboard developed by Chinese company. Unfortunately few of them offer enough downloading/handling support.
Hey guys,
I have looked but for some reason it's difficult to find information on this topic.
Sometimes I need to write in Slovak language on my Android 6 phone. However, it seems neither the AOSP keyboard nor GBoard have the ability to type with diacriticals (accented/national characters). The SK keyboard is identical to the EN one.
I tried SwiftKey but that seemed to slow down my phone and make it less stable. Is there any way to add languages with national characters to the standard keypad? (Preferably to the AOSP one.)
My 2nd question is about the reverse. AOSP keypad offers no word suggestions when the language is set to SK. GBoard and SwiftKey do, but only WITH accented characters. However most of the time when I type even in SK, I still don't want to use accented characters.
Is there any way to use a national dictionary (again preferably in AOSP) but have all the accented characters replaced with the standard A-Z? (E.g. č->c; é->e.) Even my old candybar phone with T9 had that ability 12 years ago and I miss it :/
Thanks in advance.

Hello everyone!
I have been a SwiftKey user for a long time and for various reasons I am looking to switch to Gboard (one thing is the search feature). However, there is one thing that still keeps me to SwiftKey.
I generally use English, French and Greek layouts. I really enjoy the multilingual layout feature of SwiftKey and I was hoping that Gboard would do it in a similar way. However, this is not the case.
SwiftKey and Gboard both unify EN and FR layouts, however SwiftKey only really displays one option (fr/en) in contrast with Gboard that displays two options: fr/en and en/fr. I don't know the purpose of this, but it means that I have to change two layouts in order to write Greek, which I don't really like.
Is this bothering anyone else? Has anyone found any solution to this "problem".
So I HATE GBoard with a passion. It does the job if you only write in English but if you also write in other languages it is a complete nightmare that makes zero sense and I feel like no localization team tested Gboard at all because the stuff it writes makes no sense and breaks simple language rules that are VERY VERY easy to program. In short: Gboard sucks big time.
Now if you ask on the net what keyboards are good you only get TWO answers: GBoard and SwiftKey. I feel like there aren't even any other keyboards around anymore. To put it short: I am also NOT happy with SwiftKey for several reasons (I can not find a cogwheel to change any options on the keyboard itself like I can on Gboard. There is also NO way to enable a keyboard that also has ö,ä,ü keys, a feature Gboard and other keyboards also do...that's just a few of those things I hate about Swift key).
So are there ANY other keyboards that are actually good for typing because all I have found so far is stuff like "EMOJI KEYBOARD!!! SUPER COOL NICE SKINS!!!111" I have been googling this for 3 years now, reading threads, asking at places but I haven't found ANY other keyboard to this very day.
I am using a Xioami Mi A1, I know I can not install a Samsung keyboard on it because of a different frame work but maybe SOME third party keyboard (HTC or whatever) got ported or something for this device or ported for any Android device? Thanks a lot in advance.
Typing on this phone makes me so angry that I am considering to even buy an iPhone (which are overpriced and don't let you navigate and create folders...why does everything have to be sh't?!)
Edit: also what nobody seems to understand (at least when I read keyboard guides) it is ALL about the text prediction and how a keyboard understand a language but everyone just talks about how you can change the colour of a keyboard or add a number row...
Example: Gboard turns EVERY verb into a noun (Capital letter) after a Personal Pronoun which makes no sense. There will NEVER be a noun after a Personal Pronoun, it will be a verb which will be written with a small letter but I always have to correct this because the retards at google can not even code such a simple thing.
given the amount of amazing replies I got here I would guess the answer is: NO, there are only 2 keyboards out there for android.
Amazing!

Buy a Samsung phone if keyboard is everything in your life. Samsung has its own keyboard app for its devices and works nice and smooth.

It's the only keyboard I like. Have a S4+ and the Note 10+, the keyboards are near identical and easy to use with a fair number of options.
Samsung also is the most customizable stock Android and the includes the keyboard colors.
